Can video auto play be stopped?

cgilley

I'm a developer. I use a browser - my current go to is opera - for a lot of research, different threads, I probably need meds My point is that I can typically have 100+ tabs open (yes opera, you still have memory leaks).

Because Windows forces me to reboot due to their assine issues, I'll fire up opera and then I have to go find every gd video that autoplays.

Is there a solution for this? Going through the search results, this has been an issue for years, and there is simply no excuse for it.

@cgilley Opera One, Opera GX or Opera Air?

@cgilley You can try using an extension.

@leocg I never knew there was a difference.

Opera One(version: 119.0.5497.56)

@leocg Why? Why would this not be built into opera? I get it physics, but it should be able to turn off.

@cgilley Because 9 out of 10 browsers don't have such option?

You can try making a feature request asking Opera to add that option.
